KIA Sorento 2006 1.G Owner's Manual

Electric Azimuth Compass
It displays azimuth according to the
vehicle’s driving direction.
The indication is displayed only when
the vehicle is in motion.Correcting Azimuth Indicator
Position correction should be per-
formed if the displayed direction of
the vehicle differs from the actual
direction of the vehicle, or if the bat-
tery has been disconnected.1. Start the vehicle and access the
compass function indicated by
DRT on the display. Press the
MODE/SET button until the DRT
display begins to blink on and off.
2. Slowly (about 3 mph) and carefully
drive the vehicle in a complete 360
degree circle, within 128 seconds
(about two minutes).
3. After completing the circle drive,
the DRT display will stop blinking
and the error correction will be
complete.

The azimuth compass indicator
correction will be cancelled:
1. If you press MODE/SET switch for
more than 1 second while the DRT
display blinks.
2. When the vehicle is not rotated
within 128 seconds after the blink-
ing of the DRT display.Magnetic Declination Correction
The compass function provides bear-
ing (direction of travel) information to
the driver. It is known that a magnet-
ic compass does not point to true
(geographic) north. Magnetic north is
the direction in which a compass will
point. Over most of the earth surface,
a magnetic compass will point either
east or west of true north. In order to
compensate for this, magnetic decli-
nation must be taken into considera-
tion. Magnetic declination is the
angle between magnetic north and
true north.
Correcting declination
1. Turn the ignition key ON and
access the compass function indi-
cated by DRT on the display.
2. Press and hold the MODE/SET
button for four seconds. The dis-
play will change from a direction to
a number followed by an E or W.3. Press the UP or DOWN button to
select the degree of correction for
your location from the contour line
map. (example: Los Angeles,
California would be 15E.)
4. Press the MODE/SET button until
the display changes back to its
normal view.
The terrestrial deviation angle
correction will be cancelled:
1. If you press MODE/SET switch for
less than 1 second.
2. If you don't correct the terrestrial
deviation angle within 30 seconds.DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE4-54✽ ✽
NOTICEThe azimuth may display abnor-
mally in specific places (tunnel,
parking lot in building, under-
ground parking lot, near trans-
former substation, etc.).
✽ ✽
NOTICEThe terrestrial deviation setting
will be remembered even if the bat-
tery has been disconnected.

Relative Altimeter
The relative altimeter displays the
current altitude to an actual altitude of
+/- 9800 feet.When you want to know the altitude
difference between your starting
point and destination:
1. Press the MODE/SET button until
the current altitude displayed is 0.
2. When you arrive at your destina-
tion, the altitude displayed will be
the difference between the starting
point and destination.
3. To change the display from feet to
meters, press the UP or DOWN
button for one second.Barometer
The barometer function displays
atmospheric pressure in hectopas-
cals. 1013 hPa is equivalent to 29.92
inches of mercury, or 14.7 psi. (air
pressure at sea level). The barome-
ter range is 600 to 1100 hPa.DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE4-56

when the ignition switch is removed,
perform the following :
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the tail-lights OFF and ON
again using the light switch on the
steering column.Lighting Control
